HOOD RIVER, GLACIER, THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1905. TO BUILD DAM AT FORKS RIVER Au electric liht plant and WHter works are amoiiK extensive improve ments under consideration by W. Kohh WiiiuiiH at hiri towntite near the falls of Hood riu-r. Mr. Winans has alio under way a project for the cou Htruction of a st-riun of damn at the forku of the river. He est i ma ten that it will lie poH.-il'le to develop 50,0Ul horsepower at this point of the river. Mr. WinaUH lata granted a free ritfht of way tl.ronnh two miles of his towunite to the Mount Hood rail way, which company has agreed to establish a station between the Win aiiM hotel und the bank of the river. There have already been frequent in ipiirieH for propeity in the Wiuan townsite, and Mr. WinaiiH expects to make a reut many sales thia coming summer. The power for the operation of the dynamo which is to furnish the lights for the hotel and other residences at Winaus will bo furnished from a large spring on the bank of the rier. liy carrying the water a distane of 900 feet Mr. Winaus llgures on a 200-foot full. With the comi letion of the Mount Hood railroad, great things .may be expected from the town of Winaus. Maguiiiceut water power is near at huud, which should not be so very expensive to harness. Mr. Wiuans is llguring on a market for his electric euergy in Portland, but would prefer to secure the location of factories and tell the power near nt huud. BONDING ELECTION NEXT SATURDAY The liarrett fanners will voteSatnrday on the question ui bonding their lands as a district fur the construction find operation of an irri'.'Htion system.

"There tins In en practicully no oppo sition to the lioiiiiing movement since the c hi ii t y com gianted the call for an election, and we hope to see the propo sition curry nc.i Saturday. Vet it is imperative tlm ev ry property owner in the district mm out and cast his ballot. The hiht'-h of this movement means much for t'ie fanners." l'ortlanih r Makes Summer Home Here. Donald McKay of Portland has es tablished his household in his new sum mer home, and the little ones are hav ing the time of heir lives. With 'real ! milk, eugs fresh from the factory -d j cgetalilcs anil hints ot all kinds such as grow only in Hood lliver, these hap p youngsters will e;it and sleep and cloisc Hie sipiirrels, play hide-and-seek with the birds, .r nv and flourish like a green hay tree. Mr. McKay lias shown coiisuma'c wisdom in thus building so pleasant a home une ng the oaks and pines of the Frankton neighborhood. If those of Portland who are able to do so hut km w the delights of summer lite in our woods, in the pure, sweet Hood Kiv er air ami sunshine, away from 'the restraints of eity life, with its noise and di.st, and foul, sootv, disease laden air, the hills of Hood idver would moil he c )vered with just siic'i com inodious, com fortable home ;s this of Mr. McKay's, .mil the children, instead of growing up weaklings in mind and body, would grow up sturdy, i..ggd specimens of our race, and i" pa' d and develop into glorious manhood and womanhood in stead of winning hrough an unhcalth ful, painful existence to an early grave. This is the plain, -iinple truth, and like many other s in lar truths is over looked to the r h' rt by the mass of mankind. May Sir. McKay prove a pioneer ;n a . hit 1 exodus from Port land tot. ip itn igorating climate of the Hood Hivor . miners. Yivv.U t , Oil the II nails. V. 1!.

ENHANCE LAND VALUE Special Correspondence. Willow Flat, East Hood River Valley, May 3. We attended the water meet ing at Pine Grove Friday night, and were much difappoinU'd at the results. From the discussion we infer that the part of the valley lyingeast of Ncal'creek doesn't want and has no use for water. The bonding bsue was practically re pudiated by the consumers under the Neal creek lateral. Under the bonding plan it is not a question whether water will benefit an orchard, but the real question is, "Will a water right enhance the value of a ranch." The West Skiers evidently believe it will, for they have worked out three or four different propositions before try ing a bonded district. They are now up to the last ditch and we hope to see them into it in a short time with plows and scrapers headed toward (ireen Point and Sandy Flat. If it is practical for these ranchers to build from so far up the river and over so dif ficult a route, w hy cannot the east sid ers,with more than double the amount of cultivated land and with tw ice as much per acre, own and operate their water supply? We dislike to Impugn the in telligence of the horticulturists of F.as' Hood River, but recent events go far to corroherate our view. It is useless to go into details con cerning the formation of a bonded dis trict as they would not be appreciated. Reassured bv Frank Massee's success last Monday, C. L. Rogers has bought at a fancy price, Massee's best pup, and will hie himself to the wilds of Odell in a short time. We congratulate him on the bargain and wish him bushels of success. The IiOst Lake Lumber Co. has fin ished planting potatoes. They have about HO acres of their orchard planted. The ditch company turned water in to the ditch a few days ago and is now ready to supply its patrons with water. p. I.. I). SOUTHERN WASCO' . GROWING RAPIDLY John Michell, who is in the city from The Dalles to gather data for a descrip tive pamphlet the county court is pre paring for distribution at the Lewis and Clark exposition, states that the south ern part of Wasco county is tilling up rapidly with settlers. Land there is worth from $25 to $40 an acre. None oi it is now vacant. The town of Dufur is putting on city airs, two substantial bricks are being erected this spring, one by Johnson Bros, and the other by llarriman, Knowles & Co. Crops are looking well, though a rain tlotild he appreciated. Tygh Valley is coining into promin ence, a newspaper having been estab lished there two weeks ago. Wheat and hogs are becoming a profitable combina tion with the farmers in that section of the county. Apples have been found to do well there. C. A. Vanduyn is setting out 800 trees this spring. It is estimated that last year the Tygh Ridge farmers marketed 250,000 bushels of wheat. Dead Dog near Hake Oven is getting to be a famous wheat country, one farm thera of 2,000 acres averaged 30 bushels to the acre. It was formerly thought that this hind was worthless for grain, and fit only for grazing sheep. Juniper Flat, with the two towns of Wapanitia and Victor, claims a popula tion of 1100. Mr. Mitchell estimates that the population of the county will exceed 12,000. The improvements to Hood River and the valley were a surprise to Mr Michell, who hadn't been here for over six years. Michell spent his honeymoon here 24 years ago, and has ever since regarded flood River one of the pleasantest places on the continent. ZMZzc. ABBOTT, gh. Class 2villiner3r Hood BiTrer, Ore. PHONE 51.
